Lando Norris is targeting success in the F1 drivers’ championship this year having come up short against Max Verstappen in 2024.
Lando Norris is feeling confident heading into the upcoming F1 season, despite it being a trait that is considered rare for him. Following McLaren’s strong campaign in 2024, Norris has been tipped as one of the favorites to contend for the title this year. The regulations remaining stable over the winter break indicate that the pecking order is expected to remain relatively unchanged for the new season. Despite pushing Max Verstappen for the drivers’ title last year, Verstappen’s early season success secured his fourth F1 title. Norris is confident in his abilities after proving to himself last year that he can win races and compete against the best in the world. He acknowledges making mistakes in the past but feels that he has ironed out those faults and is heading into the new season in the best shape physically and mentally, quietly confident but not overconfident.
